📊 Compared to Last Quarter: What’s Changed?
Here’s how the market compares to the previous quarter (January 2025):
Sales Price Trend:
The average sales price has increased slightly, signaling that despite longer days on market, home values are holding steady. We’re seeing sustained demand for well-located and turnkey homes, especially those closer to the beach or in FEMA zones.
Inventory Rise:
With 472 active listings, inventory is up compared to Q1, giving buyers more options. This is a great time for those looking to explore the peninsula, especially before the summer rush.
Days on Market:
The average days on market has increased, now at 193 days. This reflects a more patient buyer pool and possibly overpricing in some cases. Strategic pricing and staging are more important than ever.
Price per Sq Ft:
The gap between active ($378/sq ft) and sold ($333/sq ft) prices highlights a reality check for sellers. Buyers are still cautious, and overpricing can lead to longer market times and stale listings.
Sales Volume:
With just 83 homes sold, we’re seeing a slower transaction pace. This can be attributed to lingering uncertainty, seasonal transitions, or tighter lending conditions.
🧭 What This Means for You
Sellers: Price smart. Homes are taking longer to sell, but if priced right and marketed effectively, they’re still moving. The right agent and exposure matter more than ever.
Buyers: You have more choices right now. Don’t be afraid to negotiate and look at properties that have been sitting a while — there may be room for value.
Investors: With a dip in sales activity but strong price retention, now may be a good time to shop for long-term hold properties, especially if short-term rentals are part of your strategy.
🌞 Looking Ahead
As we head into late spring and early summer, we expect increased activity, especially with out-of-town visitors eyeing beach properties. The Texas Crab Festival and other events will bring new eyes to the peninsula — and possibly new buyers.
Whether you’re buying, selling, or just watching the market, I’m here to help you navigate the trends with confidence and clarity.
